If you want to ride the historic suspension railroad in Dresden, you can do so at the weekend. The funicular, on the other hand, still has to go to the workshop for the time being.

The suspension railroad in Dresden resumes operation on Saturday. Following the spring overhaul, it will start the new season at 10.00 a.m., as announced by the Dresden transport company. It will run daily until 6 p.m. until March 28, after which the summer timetable with longer operating times will apply.

A key part of the maintenance was reportedly the replacement of the large drive motor. In addition, the TÜV inspection was successfully completed.

Funicular goes into maintenance

While the suspension railroad is back in operation, the spring overhaul of the neighboring funicular begins. From March 24 to April 4, maintenance work will be carried out on the haul rope. It will then resume regular summer operations from April 5.
